I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.

View allI'm feeling really uncomfortable with this redness and burning sensation around my anus. It's also kind of soft to touch. I'm not sure what's causing this, and it's making me really anxious. Could this be something serious? What can I do to alleviate it?
To help alleviate the redness, burning sensation, and softening of the skin around the anus, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, sitz baths with warm water several times a day can also provide relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using harsh soaps or wipes. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
